Welcome to Hove Park Sixth Form
The benefits of continuing education beyond the age of 16 are well established; good qualifications give you a much wider choice in deciding upon a future career. The Sixth Form at Hove Park is here to serve the needs and aspirations of its students. It provides a highly effective learning environment where students can expect the highest standards in teaching and learning opportunities. Hove Park Sixth Form provides specialist tutorial and teaching areas, computers, and a spacious social area. The Sixth Form Block is a separate part of our school and provides outstanding facilities for Sixth Form students.
Student Support
All students have a personal tutor who supports their academic and personal progress, advising on career and university choices. Students meet their tutor regularly for individual and group sessions.
The Director and Assistant Director of Sixth Form are always available for additional advice and support.
The relationship between student and tutor is central to student success and encourages students to be successful independent learners prepared to progress to higher education or employment.
Student Life
Students elect a Student President and Sixth Form Council who take a lead in organising social and charity activities. The highlight of the year is the Sixth Form Ball held at the Grand Hotel in May. Activities also include various trips including Alton Towers and the Leavers' BBQ.
Students can participate in a range of sporting activities, a favourite being the annual ski trip, and have access to a well-equipped fitness suite. The Sixth Form Common Room has a pool table, table football, TV, stereo, cafe and various educational resources. Students also have complete access to the study room which is well equipped with computers and higher education resources.
Sixth form students are encouraged to participate in whole school activities such as Drama performances. Many Sixth Form students also elect to work with younger students in their lessons.
